Free Stuff Pile

Free stuff is free stuff, right? There’s so many levels of DIY modification and outside of the box thinking going on here that I had to snap some pictures. For instance: Outgrown your old deck? Just bolt it on to a new one! Nice work with the rounded handlebar too.

Trampskate: Still Going

Way back in 2010 my post about the Trampskate was met with with universal derision. Since then, Facebook has sucked away all my web traffic and Trampskate is still in business. So the jokes on me! – Thanks to Adlan Farazi for the tip via (duh, duh duh…) FACEBOOK

RAD furniture, metal skateboards

RAD Furniture makes metal furniture, as well as the occasional perforated steel skateboard deck, which you can build yourself in the from of onsite welding lessons for $350, or buy premade for $250. Think of it as an ollie strength trainer. – Thanks to MC for the tip.

An addition to the Hurley Surfing Australia High Performance Centre in the form of a wave-shaped miniramp with airbags on the high end is supposed to help Australian Surfers learn aerial maneuvers in the ocean. While the jury out on how much of this training actually carries over to actual waves, it sure looks like […]

Cardboard Chaos

Ernest Packaging has produced a great series of marketing videos called Cardboard Chaos in which they make unusual things out of cardboard, including snowboards, surfboards, and of course, skateboards. Professor Schmitt and Tony Hawk were brought in to help with the skateboard edition. The first try worked pretty well until they got to the frontside […]

Hobble Wobble

This is an undated cardboard advertisement for a toy called the Hobble Wobble, something that looks suspiciously like a snake board without the trucks and wheels. These were allegedly manufactured in the late 50’s or early 60’s in St. Louis, Mo. I say allegedly because there doesn’t appear to be any real information on these […]
